HeliHub.com is hearing that Cardinal Helicopter Services, based at City Heliport Manchester with their own S76C++, are the front runners to provide pilots and full management of the aircraft to the Trump organisation for their UK-based Sikorsky S76B.

As we noted earlier this week, Trump has struck a deal with Prestwick Airport and the helicopter – along with the Donald’s 727 – are based there.  Richard Stubbs of Cardinal confirmed to HeliHub.com that they are “in discussions with the aircraft owners”, but denied that any contracted arrangements are in place.  However, our research network confirms that the Trump aircraft has been at City Heliport Manchester most days this week, so we leave readers to draw their own conclusions.
